This message looks coming from libusb. Maybe you check that lib source to understand what error code 5 stands for....

Have you tried to run app as root ?

Hi all,

I have compiled and installed rtl-sdr on CentOS 6 following instructions.
Everything compiles without errors, but:
- when I run rtl_test I get the following errors:
Found 1 device(s):
  0:  ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle

Using device 0: ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle

Info: This tool will continuously read from the device, and report if
samples get lost. If you observe no further output, everything is fine.

If I run rtl_tcp I get the following errors when the client tries to connect:

The same client connects without errors to another rtl_tcp instance on a Windows 7 computer, with the same module.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
